Winter fairy-tale maiden / Дівчинка з зимової казки

Welcome!

I am such a child inside, or is this due to amount of children that surround me... Anyways, this time of season I remember all of the stories that I read as a child, all of those movies that we have seen once the winter started. Back home we were shown a lot of fairy-tales, such as Winter Queen, 12 Months (about a girl, who was told by her bad step-sister to get her some spring flowers... Thus, the girl had to go into the woods, and there she met twelve months, who of course helped her out. I love this movie!), the Father Frost or Mother Snowstorm. All of those fairy tales are about a good girl and her evil step mother, and how they make her go into the woods in the middle of cold Russian winter.

One more Russian fairy-tale that I cannot pass, which is also an opera by Rymsky-Korsakov (love opera!!!), is The Snow-maiden. All of those pagan fairy-tales are about beautiful and open-hearted maidens, who are ready to help anyone in need.

Enough of my childhood memories... Here is the card that I have created. It depicts a maiden walking through the woods, or maybe skating :)
